Stratasys manufactures 3D printing equipment and materials that create physical objects directly from digital data. Its systems range from affordable desktop 3D printers to large, advanced 3D production systems, making 3D printing more accessible than ever.
Manufacturers use Stratasys 3D Printers to create models and prototypes for new product design and testing, and to build finished goods in low volume. Educators use the technology to elevate research and learning in science, engineering, design and art. Hobbyists and entrepreneurs use Stratasys 3D Printing to expand manufacturing into the home — creating gifts, novelties, customized devices and inventions.
All Stratasys 3D Printers build parts layer-by-layer. FDM Technology (Fused Deposition Modeling), known for its reliability and durable parts, extrudes fine lines of molten thermoplastic, which solidify as they are deposited. PolyJet Technology, known for its smooth, detailed surfaces and ability to combine multiple materials in one part, employs an inkjet-style method to build parts from liquid photopolymers in fine droplets immediately cured with ultraviolet light. SCP Technology (Smooth Curvature Printing) produces finely detailed models for lost-wax casting and mold-making.
The Stratasys portfolio of specially engineered 3D printing materials is the most comprehensive in the industry. It includes nearly 150 PolyJet photopolymers and FDM thermoplastics.
MakerBot, a subsidiary of Stratasys since 2013, manufactures the company's prosumer desktop 3D printers in Brooklyn, New York. It maintains the Thingiverse design-sharing community and facilitates a wide network of user groups.
Stratasys also manufactures SolidScape 3D Printers and operates RedEye On Demand digital manufacturing service.
Through its network of certified resellers, Stratasys delivers responsive, regional support around the globe. The company maintains dual headquarters in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and Rehovot, Israel.

Wish I had paid more attn. to small font size
Forever Yours Rehearsal Dinner Invitations Perfect and beautiful printing, just wish I had paid more attention to small lines and sizes of fonts. I would size it up a little
So Satisfied
Forever Yours Rehearsal Dinner Invitations I ordered Wedding Rehearsal Invitations, and I picked sayings from different invitations that I saw. Once I figured out what I wanted it was one, two, three. In less then two weeks my invitations were sitting at my front door. I would highly recommend this company, and I personally would use them again.
Beautiful Invitation
Forever Yours Rehearsal Dinner Invitations MagnetStreet is a great website with high quality invitations and other stationary. I ordered my save-the-dates from here as well using the "Forever Yours" carrier card and loved them. The only complaint I have on the rehearsal dinner invites is that I could not order a sample. Since I wasn't ordering that many it was ok but I really like that aspect of this website so I wish it had been an option on all stationary.
Forever Yours Rehearsal Dinner Invitations Once again Magnet Street has done an amazing job. The invites for the rehearsal dinner were great and arrived 4 days after we approved the proof. I didn't realize I made a mistake on one of the words and they bought it to my attention and after speaking on the phone with a rep, she helped me to achieve exactly what I wanted. Great Job and I am so happy I found Magnet Street and would DEFINITELY recommend any bride, or anyone for that matter to use them. Don't be afraid to ask, because they will go out of their way to give you exactly what you are looking for and want. Thank you once again Magnet Street!!!!

is the founder and creative director of the OCD (Organize and Create Discipline) Experience. Justin Klosky
So What Do You Do?
"The misconception is that we're nice housemaids in cute little outfits," says Klosky. "It's so much more than just a cleaner. It's someone who is cleaning your mentality."
Related: Why clutter costs you
According to Klosky, people don't get rid of things because "it's kind of shielding them from feeling and from really having to deal with themselves because when you're surrounded by stuff everywhere, you're protected." He says that he helps people get to the place where they are ready to deal with themselves "or whatever's going on in their head."
Related: 6 spring closet cleaning tips from professional organizers
What's With All the Clutter?
Klosky says, "Every person has something that they're fighting in their life to get control of. 75 percent of the time, it's the closet in the bedroom or their office." He adds that the most common source of clutter is people's stuff, such as books or clothes, but he says the biggest source of clutter is paper. "Paper is really the culprit, and digital is really a way to simplify your life."
Tricks of the Trade
To get started, says Klosky, "Organize, pull everything out, set piles, figure out what is where and why it's there, and then create a system for that stuff." Then, he says, "If you discipline yourself about keeping up on the things that you're committing to, you're going to have so much more free time and so much more energy to do the things that you really want to do."
So if you have things and you want a place for them, Klosky says that you need to find a place for them. If you can't find a place, those things may not be as important as you thought.
In addition, he says, there are always hidden areas and dead space that isn't being used in your home. For example, he notes, "If there's vertical space, put some shelves up and appropriate some space up there. Try to get the thinnest hangers possible to maximize your space." But, he adds, "You want everything to be uniform because it's less distracting to your eye, which also uses brain power."
For your office, Klosky says to buy a scanner, a shredder, and a backup hard drive. "Start scanning the things in your life that have significant value to you. If they're not worth scanning, then most likely you don't need it."
Parting thoughts
Klosky says, "People do have those strange, unique situations holding them back from just being free." As a result, he says his job is trying to understand why those people are so scared to make a change. "And once you can do that with a client, you get to see this weight of the world lifted off their shoulders and then, for the first time, they have clarity."
He adds, "Knowing that I really helped change someone's life is as fulfilling as any career can be."

The mavericks. Those who have dared challenge prevailing thought and standard procedure with so-called radical new ideas.
Here's a quick example: In 1912, German scientist Alfred Wegener proposed that continents were once attached to each other and drifted apart. This idea, which was later verified and eventually evolved into what is now known as plate tectonics, was initially ridiculed as absurd.
On Aug. 7, as part of the Pinhead Town Talk lecture series at the Mountain Village Conference Center, Dr. Michael Kellman, a professor of theoretical and physical chemistry from the University of Oregon gave a lecture titled "Is it Science? Global Warming, Intelligent Design, the Cosmic Anthropic Principle, and Einstein's Moon."
The basic thrust of his lecture was that science doesn't know all it claims to know – and will never find out all it thinks it's going to. That isn't anything most of his peers would ever believe or want to hear, and it certainly won't win him any glowing acclaim or support from most of his colleagues.
During the course of his lecture, he got on the subject of quantum entanglement. Briefly, quantum entanglement is the notion that if you split a subatomic particle like a photon and change the orientation of one, the other responds instantly, no matter how far apart the two are. In theory it could be on the other side of the universe and it would respond instantly. Time isn't a factor because no time is involved. The theory has been proven correct – scientists like to call it "spooky action at a distance," and it disproves Albert Einstein's theory that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light. Professor Kellman went a step further and said such behavior at the subatomic level is about as close to magic as you could get.
Magic? Genuine magic, actually witnessed? Horrors! Banish the word and perish such thoughts! To most scientists, the word magic is as terrifying and repugnant as the idea that a supernatural deity created the universe. Science simply refuses to believe in genuine magic. Magic is for magicians. Science is for theorists and experimentalists. Yet, one must wonder: Is genuine magic possible? Does it exist?
So exactly what is this discipline called science that refuses to believe in magic? One definition of science supplied by my computer program dictionary is "the knowledge gained by the study of the physical world." Science can believe as it will and I don't care, but I think it tends to forget that we humans also inhabit a non-physical universe. Is thought made of physical "stuff" or does it consist of a type of energy not unlike that of photons, which apparently don't have a physical existence?
For that matter, does thought even reside in the universe? Don't rule out that it doesn't. Remember that instantaneous quantum- entanglement thing? Quantum physics is a weird area of science. It's so weird it's open to infinite interpretations.
Science notwithstanding, I can conjure up magic at will. Since my column topic is often based on "maverick" devil's advocate assumptions, facts and thought, allow me to offer a few examples.
Let's see now, there's so much magic among and within us, where to start? How about the human body? Is it not magic that our digestive system breaks down the food we ingest into various components and efficiently delivers the right chemicals to the right place to make it all work and keep us alive? This is a vast simplification and science will break it all down, if you wish, but overall our enormously complex chemical system seems magical to me.
Is it not magic that our muscular and skeletal systems work in perfect harmony to permit a pro basketball player to hit a turnaround jump shot from 30 feet? Try that one yourself and maybe you'll be convinced. Wouldn't you agree that our entwined DNA opposite-sex reproductive system, which contains all the ingredients and orderly instructions needed to create another of the same species, complete with a sexual bonus, is pure (genuine) magic?
Is it not magic that our immune system usually knows when a harmful foreign agent that wants to kill us enters our body and proceeds to attack it viciously to save our lives, usually succeeding, which lets the majority of us live a basic normal life? Is it not magic that our respiratory system ingests oxygen and converts it into energy to fuel billions of individual cells (via a magical circulatory system)? A circulatory system that rids the body of waste products, among other functions?
Is it not magic that our nervous system creates a heart, brain and associated sensory network that directs all the metabolic systems plus the sensory functions that enable us to function as living entities as opposed to, say, a rock? Is it not magic that we happen to be living, intelligent entities, say, again as opposed to being created as a lifeless rock? Is it not magic that multiple senses – such as hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling and balance – integrate into that marvelous sense of awareness we call consciousness? Isn't life itself a miracle (genuine magic)? What about gravity? Isn't gravity, which is so mysterious that science is having a difficult time figuring it out and never will completely, "spooky action-at-a-distance" magic like quantum entanglement?
We must give credit to the disciplines of science and human ingenuity, for they have learned to supplement and enhance the various chemical and physical systems of our body to improve and lengthen our lives. Science likewise enriches our knowledge through its discoveries of how the universe and the natural world work. That the human race is able to do such things is a form of magic unto itself.
The phenomenon of consciousness, which allows us to contemplate the magic of everything that is, including the universe itself, whatever that encompasses, must surely be classified as genuine magic by any reasonable benchmark.
In a nutshell, I say, creation is magic. Is creation a miracle, which implies a creator, or is it an accident, as science believes (any event not deliberate logically must be accidental), or should we just abstractly pass it off as magic and let it go at that? If creation didn't "accidentally just happen," then as far as we can know, at this point in time, it must have come about because of either or both of the other two. Science, which is mostly scared to death of the idea of a God creating conditions allowing humans to exist and absolutely refuses to believe in miracles and magic, has made its choice very clear. Its substitute is the principle of evolution, which at its absolute root is either abstract or magic, take your pick. If one dares wander into the extraordinary, evolution would seem to be yet another form of magic.
"Maverick" scientist Dr. Kellman is my kind of guy. Personally, this inquisitive, skeptical and agnostic* mind and feeble old body has witnessed and pondered enough different types of genuine magic thanks to the miracle of creation to last anyone a lifetime.
Parting shot: Would you say genuine magic only comes from ordinary or extraordinary sources?
Agnostic (n.) Someone who doubts that many questions have a single correct answer or that a complete understanding of some things can be attained.

Has anyone ever used Gluquestrian Powder by MD's Choice? http://www.gluquestrian.com/ It seems to have good reviews online, and I'm intrigued by the "results based guarantee," but it's expensive. I like the ingredients (glucosamine-sulfate and MSM), as I use them for myself for joint maintenance.
Has anyone else had good experiences with any other joint supplements that may be less expensive?
There are SO many out there, in all price ranges, aren't there? I like this one:
To me, for the money, it is the most complete with the highest doses of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate AND MSM. Depending on the horse (i.e. the type of arthritis) the MSM may be all you need, but make sure it is high grade, pure MSM.
There are some cheaper ones out there, but I think you'll find they have much lower amounts of each component.
Yeah, I kind of figure this is one area that you really just get what you pay for.
I bought some of the Gluquestrian Powder to try, so we'll see how it goes. But I'm still interested in any cheaper suggestions that anyone may have for future months. I am buying this simply for maintenance, not for any major problem solving. I'm sure Arizen is starting to get mild arthritis at her age, and I want to keep her in good working condition, epecially now that she's getting back into work.
I am also going to grab some Horseshoer's Secret because Arizen's feet crack so easily, especially in the summer months with all the stomping. I'd like to avoid shoeing her, but she's got some nice sized cracks at this point. I'm going to see what the farrier says.
The For-A-Flex that you suggested has Glucosamine-HCl. I have been reading that recent research has shown that Glucosamine-Sulfate is more effective than Glucosamine-HCl. Who knows...
at www.glucosamine-arthritis.org:
What is Glucosamine Sulfate?
Glucosamine Sulfate (also known as Glucosamine Sulphate) is the form that has been tested in dozens of clinical trials. It is very similar to glucosamine HCL (hydrochloride) in effectiveness, because the sulfate is simply a carrier molecule for the actual glucosamine. Another popular form of glucosamine is known as glucosamine HCL, or hydrochloride. Some studies have shown the HCL to be more effective and some have shown the sulfate to be more effective, so it would be prudent to either try both individually (probably not the most cost effective option) and see which one works better for you, or ideally simply find a product that contains both HCL and Sulfate.
The good new is if you're using it strictly for maintenance, the lower dosage amounts are less and may work just fine for Arizen so you may be able to use a much lower priced one. I think it's a great idea for preventative maintenance.
Nicole:I am also going to grab some Horseshoer's Secret because Arizen's feet crack so easily,
Thanks! Good info. I'm new to all this stuff, so I'm going by advice, research, and trial-and-error.
Biotin would be the effective ingredient in hoof formulas then? Can you give too much biotin?
I'll look more closely into Smart Pak, but I've gotten the catelogs before and they seem to be more expensive simply because of the customized packaging.
I was too, just tried different things since a lot has changed and improved from the way my parents raised me (as far as supplements) caring for our horses, that's why I wanted to help if I could!
Biotin is the best thing for the keratin in the hooves, and as a bonus it's also really good for skin and coat! Methionine is an important amino acid found in keratin and so if you can get a Biotin supplement with Methionine in it too, that would be the best. I recommend following the dosage amounts on the product, especially the loading dosage at first. You know how long it takes to grow a new hoof, so be patient, it won't happen overnight and it's really something you have to stick with but it works.
I felt the same way about SmartPak, but they have their own label now with regular sized packages, not just the little dosage paks, and so their pricing is a lot more competitive.
I would definitely follow the dosages, but I guess I meant to say if I should get a supplement with a higher dosage of Biotin or a lower dosage, or if it really mattered. I've also got Rainmaker and Keratex hoof hardener, but its harder to keep up with applying it so I think supplements will really help us out.
But yes, I plan on it taking 8 or 9 months to fully regrow her feet. I'd like to keep her barefoot so I'm planning on a long-term hoof supplement plan. She's got typical TB feet, so she'll need the supplements if I expect to keep her barefoot. She's got a couple of cracks that are pretty long and concern me a bit. They may just be surface cracks for now, but I'm worried about them getting worse. I'm going to ask the farrier what he thinks. Hopefully I wont need to put shoes on her until the cracks grow out.
Thanks again for the info!
I did use a liquid supplement that had Yucca in it, with much success; I'll get back to you, as I can't remember the name of it! But it was inexpensive and more on the "natural" side and tasted sweet (yes, I tasted it!) so you could pour it in with the feed without it ending up on the bottom of the feeder.
I've tried that too TC, cuz it wasn't that long ago we couldn't get the joint and hoof supplements at feed stores here in TX . Actually you can't get more natural that Biotin and Methionine.
And I guess I should have been clearer too, what I meant was higher amounts or more miligrams per dose of each. Like some of them are really low, something like 12 mg per dose, but they cost less per lb.
Nicole, you might want to check out Glanzen 3C from SmartPak -- I used it for my TB's feet (which were horrible when I got him) and it made a huge difference. The thing I like about the Glanzen is that it has higher amounts of biotin, methionine, etc. than most other supplements, plus it has B-vitamins. I've also heard great things about Super Biozin (think that's the name), but have never tried it myself. The SmartHoof Ultra looks good, too.
As far as joint supplements, I used SmartFlex Senior -- awesome stuff! It has glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, boswelia, devil's claw, probiotics, etc. Even if your horse isn't a senior, it's still very beneficial.
I know a lot of people haven't tried SmartPaks because they think they're more expensive; but, for most supplements, this is not the case. And it gave me peace of mind because I knew exactly how many SmartPaks my horse should go through; so, if there had been extras, I would know that my horse had not gotten his supplements. In boarding barns, it makes a lot of sense (plus, it makes things easier on the barn staff).
Also, Uckele makes a lot of very high-quality supplements. Some of them are offered in SmartPaks, but not many. Their site is http://www.uckeleequinenutrition.com/
I haven't used this particular product, but am currently using HylaRx Complete. It has the addition of HA (hyaluronic acid) along with glucosamine, chrondoitin sulfate and MSM. It's working very well for my older gelding, where I didn't see much of a difference with him with other joint supplements without the HA.
I use this chart from smartpak quite a bit:
Sorry, you'll have to cut and paste the address. Obviously, it has their prices for cost per day, but the ingredient comparison between products is great!
My vet told me that, while the SmartFlex senior has HA in it, it actually isn't very bioavailable because it's in a powder form. He said the liquid/paste/gels are far superior when you are giving hyaluronic acid.
So, in addition to the SmartFlex Senior, I also started using Conquer HA paste. It's funny, the trainer at my barn calls the stuff "crack" because it makes the older, stiffer horses feel so good. And it certainly seemed to make a big difference in my old guy! He was bucking and trying to run away with me in no time.
Just wanted to give you even more information to ponder, Nicole!
Actually the best HA is injected straight into the joints, but you did say you wanted something reasonably priced, and in my opinion HA is way out of that league. A steady supplement diet of glucosamine and MSM has worked fine for us, but it's something you have to stick with, just like the B-vitamin Biotin.
txspots:Actually the best HA is injected straight into the joints,
Very true, but I cannot afford that! The oral HA seems to be making a difference for my guy, so I'm good with that. I was also concerned about the availability of HA in the powder, but my vet said I should try the supplement first and see if I noticed any difference. Maybe there's just enough "bio-available" for him? Hard to say - but, it's working for him!
There are so many different supplements out there with so many different concentrations of additives, you'll just have to find want works best for your horse!
txspots:Actually the best HA is injected straight into the joints
Yikes! I would save the drastic measures for much later. As I recall, Arizen is still fairly young. Legend is great stuff, but I would actually start with the IM injections; injecting joint capsules is a pretty major thing.

BRS knows how to do it right Simple Installation By Vincent on 4/14/13 Vincent would recommend this product to a friend The unit comes 95% ready all you have to do is make a connection to your water and drain. Took me less than 10 minutes to install. Excellent quality By Shawn on 4/11/13 Shawn would recommend this product to a friend Very well made, makes pure water fast, easy to install and maintain. Comes with everything you will need for many different installs awesome By Dirty D33 on 4/11/13 Dirty D33 would recommend this product to a friend These things are just flat out awesome makes pure water fast, easy to install and maintain. Comes with everything you will need for many different ways to install. Best choice By JORDAN on 4/3/13 JORDAN would recommend this product to a friend Top quality...... After reviewing a couple hours on the web and lfs ordered received and after 5 minute installation I'm finally not polluting my tank. Everything on the product demo is just as it seems. Fills my 42 gallon brute fast. If you read this and are looking to buy ro/di unit this is the way to go. I'm a big stickler on performance and this definately exceeded my expectation. Thanks brs Great experience! By Trlamar on 3/28/13 Trlamar would recommend this product to a friend I am totally impressed with build quality of this unit. Shipped out same day and arrived very well packaged. I recommend BRS without hesitation. Works great By Steve on 3/28/13 Steve would recommend this product to a friend This system was easy to setup and use. Produces plenty of clean water with little hassle. I set mine up in the garage after adding a new hose bibb/valve to my main water line. then I just hook up with the hose adapter when I need it, otherwise just leave it open for other non fishy uses, since having a hose connection in the garage is really handy. The unit is high quality. No problems whatsoever. Fills up my 55 gallon storage tank (an old olive barrel) in about half a day. Built right, priced right, shipped fast By Old Guy Many Tanks on 3/26/13 Old Guy Many Tanks would recommend this product to a friend This is the first RO/DI I have owned. After much research on the web I went with BRS based on build component quality. Shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived in great shape. The DI unit is separate but all you need to do is insert the blue tube from the main unit and you are ready to go. If you are going to use the DI most of the time I suggest you take the shorter piece of blue tubing from the DI and use it to connect the RO to the DI (fittings are easy to work with) then you will have the longer tubing to use for filling whatever container you are using. It is great that they ship so many different hookups for water supply. Saves you a trip to the big box store. I have run at least 200 gallons (good water) and the built in TDS shows 3 into the DI and 0 out. Not one drip from anywhere but the waste or finished water tubing. What more could you ask for? Quick and Easy By mike on 3/26/13 mike would recommend this product to a friend Unwrapped it and hooked it up in 25 minutes. It was so simple it was funny. Don't be afraid to buy one,it is really that easy. fantastic product By Brad on 3/19/13 Brad would recommend this product to a friend Very well built and works great. Highly recommend. Super fast shipping! ! Works well and built well By Michael on 3/10/13 Michael would recommend this product to a friend Basically plug and play, couldn't be happier. If I bought again I would have gotten the water saver model which has a second membrane for more efficiency. First impressions A++ By Reef geek on 3/6/13 Reef geek would recommend this product to a friend Just got my BRS 5 stage plus RO/DI system today. Fast ship and honestly the best and most professional shipping wrapp I have ever seen! I have not yet set up the system but it defiantly is made of high quality material and put together very well. Another high quality product from BRS. Thanks again guys easy By jasonscott on 3/6/13 jasonscott would recommend this product to a friend easy to set up. RO/DI By Victor on 2/28/13 Victor would recommend this product to a friend Omg! So easy to setup and start producing zero TDS water! I love it. It's so durable and perfectly made with quality materials. I love BRS! Thanks to you guys I've learned so much! Buy THIS unit! By Sportfish on 2/28/13 Sportfish would recommend this product to a friend I very recently got this 75 GPD + DI system. This may be the best money I've spent on this 'hobby.' I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels to be liberated from the task of taking water jugs to the grocery store RO machine! Not only lugging the jugs back and forth, but searching for quarters, going in for change, double parking, etc. You need to get this system. When you realize you can do a water change 'at the drop of a hat' . . . you'll do them easier and more often. The water coming out of this unit is absolutely pristine. 300 TDS in . . . 0.00 coming out. The setup is very easy and they provide you with the hardware you need to accomplish connections in several different ways. Other charge $5 for the faucet adapter, $5 for the saddle tap, and on and on. All of this comes with this unit. I think I looked at every unit by every company of significance, and I am so VERY happy that I decided on this unit. Best price, best unit. Or . . . keep running to the strip mall to fill those 5 gallon jugs . . . gas, time, frustration. Or, pay $1/gallon at the LFS? No way. I'm producing a seemingly inexhaustible supply of the BEST water you can generate for 27 cents/gallon. And I don't ever go out the front door. You will not regret this purchase - ever. And they ship quickly! I had this in no time! Could be happier - very high quality system By NateDogg on 2/22/13 NateDogg would recommend this product to a friend I am very happy to have chosen this system over the others I looked at. Upon first opening the box, I was amazed at the care that goes into packaging the system. As I removed the bubble wrap, I was further amazed at the quality of the system components, and assembly. I had the system mounted to the wall, hooked up to my utility sink and making 0 TDS water in about an hour. No more trips to the LFS! I too discovered I have lower than desired water pressure, so I will promptly order the booster pump to ensure I get the most out of the system. I'm currently filling my 5 gallon water jugs, but forsee adding a large container and auto shut off valve to make it even more convenient. You really can't go wrong with this one! Easy to setup and use. By Kevin on 2/19/13 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend The device is built with quality parts that are durable (thick parts, i don't think they will break easily). It is very easy to setup. My only regret is the device didn't include a float valve. It included an automatic shutoff valve. In my opinion they could have raise the price by 5 bucks and included a float valve or at least made it an option. Fantastic By Armando on 2/12/13 Armando would recommend this product to a friend Upgraded from a ro/di system I bought on ebay. What a difference the quality and construction it's top notch. Great value for the system. Love the clear canisters so I can see the filters working. The included dual tds is fantastic. Great for reassurance that the system is working properly. Thanks BRS. Great value and a breeze to instal. By Tom on 2/7/13 Tom would recommend this product to a friend Just installed this system and it was a piece of cake. The directions were easy to follow. It also came with plenty of hardware and fittings for numerous different installment methods. A+ grade No Complaints By JOSEPH on 2/6/13 JOSEPH would recommend this product to a friend Have been using this unit just about a year, and it has performed perfectly. Float valve is a must - had my resevoir set up on second floor with no float, forgot to turn it off, came home to a basement with a good amount of water in it. Since installing the float, I have left the unit on for days with no overflow surprises. I recommend purchasing extra sediment filters along with the filter replacement kit, my city water dirties this stage very quickly, and they are cheap to replace. Water quality has been great! Awesome Product By Jeremy on 2/2/13 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend This unit is very easy to use and set up. Knowing that the tds meter is there its easy to check with out any extra parts or things to test for. Good system, slow when the water gets cold By Jerry on 1/24/13 Jerry would recommend this product to a friend I have been using this system for about 9 months, works great, but had to upgrade to 150 gallon add on because my water pressure was lower in the cold weather. 0 TDS all day long. Great and easy to use By Doug on 1/23/13 Doug would recommend this product to a friend My first RO/DI system and couldn't be happier. Everything worked great right out of the box, not problems at all. Will definitely purchase from BRS again! An investment worth having made By Steve on 1/22/13 Steve would recommend this product to a friend This is definitely a best buy in comparrison with the units being offered by my LFS. The unit arrived so well packaged I knew it would not be possible to mess anything up. It setup very easily, however, if you are on the fence as to whether or not to buy the plus model I really have to encourage the upgrade. Having the pressure gauge has saved me some on my water bill as well as the peace of mind provided by the TDS meter. Some things I wish I had done with the original order though was adding the float valves for my reservoirs (I almost floaded a section of my garage had it not been for an impromptu need to take the trash out). Also some additional cabling would have been nice to get initially. What a great system By Brian on 1/16/13 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Easy to set up, well built, performs perfectly, and the amount of attachments/ features is not comparable! Best Around and Easy By Joseph on 12/28/12 Joseph would recommend this product to a friend After alot of research, I'm very happy with this unit. Its much less then other units in price range but offers higher quality, and one stop shopping from web site for DI media and filters. Packed to withstand a explosion and thick plastic canisters so no need to worry about cracking them with supplied wrench. One thing I would add to package is a top off float valve. Great RODI system By Scott on 12/27/12 Scott would recommend this product to a friend I used this to replace an ebay system and this unit is head and shoulders above the rest. Highly reccomended. very nice RO system By 241wrasse on 12/22/12 241wrasse would recommend this product to a friend 5-stage plus system running for >2 years now, thought I'd share. Solid construction, love the built-in pressure guage, & TDS meter to quickly confirm when it's time to change filters & DI resin. Even better with the color-changing DI resin. Input water is nasty where I'm at: ~334ppm TDS, but water going into final DI stage shows maybe 8ppm (resin a few months old), still 0ppm output RO water. Output TDS meter results confirmed with calibrated, good handheld TDS meter. Easy maintenance, very pleased. PLUS PLUS PLUS By Eazy Feezy on 12/19/12 Eazy Feezy would recommend this product to a friend Great system, works well 6 months into making my own water. Only thing I would do over is go bigger. I burn nearly 3 gallons of water a day and this is plenty capable, however I'm only able to run 47 PSI to the system and this will burn up the DI Resin. Wasn't sure on pressures when I bought this and will most likely in the future add on the extra R.O. Membrane for production purposes, as well as a larger D.I. unit, and a pump for fine tuning. The lines also condensate pretty heavily at times checked for leaks but couldn't find any. Don't know how people let them run under there sink inside the house continuously. Check out my VLOG if you have any questions or tips on set-up. Great System By Ray on 12/9/12 Ray would recommend this product to a friend This is my 2nd RO system. This replaced one I picked up on eBay 5years ago. That one was nice but this one is great. I shopped for a replacement for months. Could not find one with all the features of this product in the same price range. It is also easy to use and maintain. Great product! TOO EASY By Steven on 12/4/12 Steven would recommend this product to a friend Have you ever heard of plug and play. That's exactly what this thing is. I have mine setup in the garage and you couldn't ask for anything easier to setup. Had it going in a few minutes. Produces water with no impurities, now I know I'm putting the best water I can in my tank. Love it!!!! Excellent RO/DI System By Nick on 12/4/12 Nick would recommend this product to a friend Like most others, I did a ton of research on RO/DI systems before my purchase, and went with the BRS 5-Stage Plus over a number of similar systems from other companies. Even before the Black Friday discounts, the pricing couldn't be beat, and it comes with everything that you could possibly need to run this in a number of configurations (hose/utility sink adapter, drain clamp, etc.). Top notch stuff from BRS, and my RO water reads a whopping 0 TDS afterwards. QUALITY ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT MOST WILL EVEN NOTICE By Kevin on 12/2/12 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend This was an easy 5 star rating. BRS hand picked some of the best components to create a great package. +They've included EVERY adapter you may need, instead of trying to cut costs with just one or two of the most common fittings. +TDS meter easy to use and battery already installed. +Easy to setup with color coded hoses. +Maintains constant 0 TDS output Really good By Aron on 11/29/12 Aron would recommend this product to a friend I did a TON of research and ended up buying this product mostly because I've been satisfied with other BRS products and their customer support is very good. I installed this unit in the basement next to my sink in the laundry in about 10 minutes and it was up and running giving me a 0 TDS reading in 11 minutes total. It comes with a kit that let's you choose how you want to connect it to your water line that makes it really easy and quick to install. It's been running smoothly since the installation and had no problems with it. I like the built in TDS meter that tells me how my filter is doing and whether I need to replace it or not. Excellent By John on 11/28/12 John would recommend this product to a friend This is a very high quality RO/DI unit and its super easy to use. I bought mine just over a month ago and couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone in the market for RO/DI The Best buy ever By avkidd on 11/24/12 avkidd would recommend this product to a friend I have had this RODI system for about a month now set up was quick and it woulds wonders. i have used it for my jobs 27g tank and for my 60g reef tank Thanks BRS Great Product... Wish i wouldnt have waited so long By Greg on 11/19/12 Greg would recommend this product to a friend This RO/DI system is great! It was really easy to install and what i really like about it is that it came with everything you need to hook up and start using it right away! Most other systems u don't get all the connections and the auto shut off and all. Its also very convenient to have the T.D.S meter built in... It makes life alot easier... not to mention it saves u from going to the LFS multiple times a week to get salt water and top off water! Now i can do it at home and save money doing so! I would have saved hundreds of dollars if i would have gotten this thing sooner... If you are new to the hobby, do yourself the favor and get your self a RO/DI unit... Bulk reef makes great stuff and has some of the best prices! AWESOME! By AP on 11/18/12 AP would recommend this product to a friend Easy set-up, durable, and affordable! Great System By Greg on 11/18/12 Greg would recommend this product to a friend I installed this in my laundry room and it's working like a champ. I appreciate having the built in pressure guage and TDS meter. Great instructions and various installation supplies included to get it up and running in no time. Great price as well! Great product By vaetist on 11/16/12 vaetist would recommend this product to a friend Great RO/DI system from bulk reef supply!! great great great thats all i should need to say By wendy on 11/5/12 wendy would recommend this product to a friend great packaging great product i set it up as instructions said to checked all parameters all is great the pressure gauge is at 59 NO LEAKS WHATS SO EVER thanks BRS for the best price and a solid product i am now a believer BRS is the best excellently Produced Product By Ryan on 11/5/12 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend I recently purchased an RO System from HomeDepot for 157$ and did worked to my ignorance. After reading this product i decided to return my ro system from Home Deopt and Purchase this product... Not only is it produced @ BRS but they use excellent materials and include a great deal of extras that would be costly additions to a Home Depot Purchased RODI system..... the Pressure Gauge, TDS and ease of hooking it up just made it that much better.. and to cost to replace thses filters compared to the HomeDepot ones,,,, BRS wins everytime.

Rodeo Weasel Production Information
Production Notes:
An internationally famous genius, I.M. Weasel is envied by his less-than-clever counterpart, I.R. Baboon. No matter what outlandish adventure I.R. Baboon undertakes, it seems that the worldly I.M. Weasel is there before him, winning the adulation of all. Such acclaim frustrates I.R. Baboon, often leading him to exclaim "Why is always him? Should be I!"

That's Life
As a career professional, volunteer, mom, wife, and friend, I focus on the positive aspects of life, even when the road is rough getting there. Life is funny. How you treat others, how you handle situations, and how you live each day is your responsibility ... so are the outcomes.
A Tribute to Our Special Forces
August 6, 2011 the ultimate sacrifice was made by "22 SEALs, three Air Force combat controllers and a dog handler and his dog." Though the families' names have not been released, I am paying honor to the the soldiers & praying for their families as they go through an incredibly emotional and devastating time in their lives.
I have friends and family, who have served and are serving. I may never understand what drives them to commit to the unknown. In my eyes, it takes a special kind of person to take their journey. They made the choice knowing what the outcome could be. They have done this for both you and me.

Wal-Mart only had 2 colors so I went to your website and bought all the colors and now I am having a hard time keeping up to orders.I love your thread as it is so easy to use and the colors are so beautiful.I do wish you had a red color though.everyone wants to know where they can buy it and when I say Wal-Mart only carries 2 colors and that I had to order it then they aren't interested in order it.I have gone to all the stores in town and no carries it except Wal-Mart.

I love working with this yarn. It is so easy to handle and it shows off well in the finished product. I have also used Starbella to make beautiful scarfs and it is also easy to work with. Thank you Premier Yarns for such great products!!!
Crocheting Grammy
Exactly what I wanted. It is going to make a beautiful wrap with the the metallic edge to it. It is very soft to knit with. Wouldn't hesitate to get more. I am a fairly new customer, but feel like I am dealing with an old friend. Can't wait to begin a project after this one.
I love this yarn !! I add it to a light weight yarn and make the most fabulous scarves. I get raves. A hint.... reroll this into a ball so you don't get tangles when you are knitting or crocheting, saves oodles of time...and stress!! I have just recently used it alone to create some unique necklaces. Possiblities are endless. I love this yarn, and love the range of colors.
Great product. Beautiful sheen. Strong, doesn't fray. Will definitely order again. Delivery was fast.

I hope I haven't missed seeing an obvious clue, but...
How can I send a donation to the various projects involved in the development of the Xfce desktop? I decided that I'm going to contribute what money I can to the projects developing the distro I use as well as the various associated software. But I can't find a donation link for Xfce.
There was a call for donation for a buildbot server a few months ago on the mailing list, but I don't remember the details. So I guess that you'll have more chance to have this information on the mailing list.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll give the list a shot.
I have just found this: http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=4962.0
Even though the request for help with expenses in shipping and setting up the buildbot is pretty old, I went ahead and sent some funds to the e-mail address listed. I hope it helps. Thanks for your help, Wapush.
I'd like to donate to. Is there a simple way of doing so?
Thunar (File Manager), is under heavy development and could use some help. See here:
We are still working on setting up the Xfce foundation, this is however not something that is done in a jiffy. Expectation is that we have this ready in Q2/3 this year.
Donated 5$ to Thunar!
We are still working on setting up the Xfce foundation, this is however not something that is done in a jiffy. Expectation is that we have this ready in Q2/3 this year.
Thanks, for the update on this. I have been wondering about it. I'll be sending a donation.
I too will send a donation when there is a mechanism to do that.
I fled to Xfce when Gnome 3 replaced Gnome 2 in my normal distribution (I use Mint's Debian rolling distro). After using Xfce for awhile, I've realized that I'm happier with Xfce4 than I was with Gnome 2. It's more pleasing in lots of ways, and as I've explored its possibilities I've realized that it's panel manager and other bits and pieces are better than what I had been used to.
For awhile I left the complete Gnome environment installed too, although I wasn't using it, but I couldn't do a full update - I kept having dependency problems, all of them involving Gnome core and other Gnome apps. So I've uninstalled most of Gnome, only keeping a few useful things, and my updates are smooth again. I did keep the Gnome NetworkManager app, and gksu (I couldn't find an Xfce equivalent), and a couple of other things - but I use Kate and Krusader from KDE too sometimes, so I've always mixed-and-matched. I like and use a lot of the alternative Xfce apps I've tried for various functions.
So - I'm really grateful to the Xfce developers for doing such a professional job. And for inadvertently providing such a comfortable, useful and attractive haven for those of us who started out on Gnome and then just used it out of habit until we were forced out by Gnome 3.
Sorry to revive an old thread but I'd be eager to occasionally donate to xfce
is there any update on an easy way to do this?
many thanks.
I would gladly donate too!
Arch Linux - Xfce - TOMOYO Linux - iptables - hostsblock
ACLU - EFF - FFRF - Riseup - Tor - Black/Thrash Metal
I found this:
...but the "How to donate to the Xfce Foundation?" page just says that it doesn't exist yet. Under "contact," there is an XFCE Foundation mailing list and also an email address ("If you prefer a private discussion with members of the Board of Directors, you can write...") listed.
There is also this:
...but I did not see any reference to a method of donating. In fact, that webpage is pretty sparse and does not appear to have much information. I was able to determine that XFCE 4.12 is about 10 months behind schedule using that website, lol, so there is some information - just not much. (For the record, I'm quite happy with 4.10 + the updated bits that have been placed in the 4.10 and 4.12 PPAs, so as long as it continues to function I'm in no hurry.)

A++++++ – Love to go here. I try and go at least once a week. I have been totally hooked and have sent plenty of my friends there as well. Even though its a bit of a drive for me it is well worth it!!!!
Best Relaxing Experience For This Traveller – After travelling over 7 hours to see my sister in Redondo Beach Nana Thai Bodywork was the right prescription to me back in shape. A friend told me about Nana Thai Bodywork was just what I needed for my sore muscles and back.
In my travels over the years I have had quite a few massages, but Nana Thai Bodywork was by far the best. Loved the great Thai Traditional massage, quiet private rooms with that great piped in music. This will always be my first stop on my trips to Los Angeles.
My Favorite Massage Place !!! – This is my ABSOLUTE favorite spot to go and get a massage.
I love everything about this place, can't say enough great things about my experience.
If you have the chance, definitely go !
Great Place for QUALITY Massage Therapy – Especially for women.....Nana Thai Bodywork is a great place for a quality massage in the South Bay. Safe, quiet, clean with very nice decor...I feel very welcome and relaxed from the time I walk through the door until I finish the tea and snack they give me after the end of the session.
The big fancy spas are expensive...the smaller shops are less money but usually are a bit seedy, Nana Thai is just right for my needs.... priced fairly with very competent trained therapists.
Thai body therapy is truly just that.......a combination of pressure and stretching that loosens your muscles and helps to align your body. It is the ultimate stress buster for me and after an especially tough day or during or after a work week I look forward to a 1 or 1 1/2 hour session.
As I said, Nana Thai is clean (# 1 in importance to me)......and the experience so far has been outstanding.
Try it and I think you too will like it and will become a fan like me. By the way, to avoid disappointment, it is always better to phone ahead for an appointment
Wouldn't go anywhere else! – I'm hooked! Found this place by accident and now I won't go anywhere else, nor will my friends. It's only Nana Thai Bodywork for me! The rooms are clean and private, the therapists definitely know what they are doing. I love Edie, easy to park and once I'm inside I am already relaxed just listening to the music.
Best Massage EVER!!! – Nana Thai Bodywork gives the best massages ever! Love all of the massages they give. The place is gorgeous inside with an authentic look from Thailand. Walking in brings peace and after the massage you just melt. The parking is free with no hassle. Highly recommended if you are looking for the best massage around!
I Love This Place! – Just discovered this gem called Nana Thai Bodywork! One of my favorite things to do is to go for a deep tissue, thai massage. I sit at work all day long at my office, so a massage is very beneficial for my neck & back, and also for my wellbeing and to keep my stress levels low.
Nana Thai Bodywork is very clean, has many well-trained therapists, and I love that there's easy, free parking nearby! If you want someone specific to ask for, Edie is one of my fave therapists there.
I'll be coming to Nana Thai Bodywork on a weekly basis from now on!
Ahhh, so great! – Nana Thai is a little slice of heaven in Redondo Beach! It's clean and very professional, and the massage therapists are really nice and friendly and all certified. It's easy to park there and conveniently located. When I'm feeling particularly tense I can go there and feel like I've taken a little vacation! Nana Thai offers lots of different styles of massage but whatever you choose you will come away feeling better (much better!) than when you walked in. Go to Nana Thai you will be so happy you did!
Best THAI MASSAGE in South Bay – Nana Thai Bodywork reminds me of Thailand and of the many shops where I massaged there. It is clean and quiet with very relaxing music playing in the background.
The trained therapists at Nana Thai know how to give traditional Thai massages as well as combo Swedish style Thai massages. Stress busting, muscle relaxing relief at its very best.
You will not be disappointed and will want to make it part of your weekly routine.
Excellent Real Therapeutic Thai Massage – I needed a real therapeutic massage help for my back from playing too much tennis. I found this place in Redondo Beach. Very clean inside and new. Lots of parking off the street. The massage I got was deep and helped me loosen the knots in my upper back, under my scapula. I will be a regular here now to to get continued treatment. They offer Swedish massage also but Thai Massage or their combination massage seems to work for me. Highly recommended! They offer punch cards for discounts.

Secondhand smoke and the possible link to breast cancer
The question of whether or not passive smoking is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer is currently a source of both investigation and controversy. Breast cancer risk in active smokers is not known to be increased, yet some studies have found a possible link to breast cancer with exposure to passive smoke. In 2006, the U.S. Surgeon General's report concluded that there is "suggestive but not sufficient" evidence of a link at this point.
Is there a safe level of secondhand smoke?
While, logically, more extensive or prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke, is associated with greatest risk of having medical problems as a result, no safe limit for exposure to secondhand smoke has been established. Even low levels of secondhand smoke can be harmful. This means that all exposure to secondhand smoke should be avoided whenever possible.
What can be done about secondhand smoke exposure?
Comment on this
Local, state, and national governments have enacted a variety of laws designed to protect people from health dangers associated with secondhand smoke. These laws vary according to location. The American Lung Association has a listing of these regulations grouped by U.S. state (see References below). Legislation to prevent smoking in workplaces and public buildings is on the rise as the public becomes more informed about the risks of secondhand smoke.
Obviously, quitting smoking if you are a smoker is the best way to protect your family and friends from secondhand smoke. A number of support systems, programs, and even prescription medications are available to help smokers break the habit.
If you are a non-smoker, the safest way to avoid passive smoke is not to allow others to smoke in your home. This is particularly important if there are children in your home. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, smoke-free workplaces are the only way to protect people from exposure to secondhand smoke in the workplace, since separate smoking areas, cleaning the air, and ventilating the building are not sufficient to prevent exposure if people still are permitted to smoke inside the building.
